The Geeta says, " He is a hypocrite, who in spite of not engaging in any action, nevertheless imagines delusions of action in his mind". Therefore, merely holding on to, or merely giving up certain motions is futile if the spirit is not engaged. <BR/><BR/>Whether the spirit must engage itself to the spirit of the warrior of the poet; the Man of Action or the Man of Thought, may not be our decision at all, since our innermost being has already made a decision as it were, and will rebel against any effort to alter it. The Gita again says, " Struggling against one's intrinsic nature is futile and makes success impossible".<BR/>******************************<BR/>Wanting to set up my stall at the 'edge' could mean either indecisiveness to choose between two ways of life, or simply a magnanimous accommodation of two worldviews.Seeker of Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467160214176589804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25813491.post-49094670582980735142007-08-16T12:36:00.000-07:002007-08-16T12:36:00.000-07:00This comment is quite shadowed with redundancy sin...This comment is quite shadowed with redundancy since the last sentence in the article very aptly projected the ideas I could conceive while still reading the post. <BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, there were many other thoughts that came storming in and I couldn't help but put them down so that someone may care to reflect upon it. The distance between the riches and the roots, as may be metaphored by the physical world, is a relative one; it being lesser for the one who can find his hold at the roots while he stretches towards the fruits. <BR/><BR/>And even while discussing what's more of a natural choice, one can have the adventures of his ambition giving him deeper levels of serenity and contentment which may bring in a different tang of creativity and discipline that is undecipherable by others. Or it may possibly be that isolating his being from the hustle-bustle of the market place be one's goal in life and he may get his sense of achievement while dreaming 'under the cherry tree'. Afterall, the creation of a verse may enrapture a poet not lesser than a victory in a battle for the warrior! <BR/><BR/>What is also equally interesting to note is that you wish to set up your stall at the "edge" of the marketplace!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132373525593060870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25813491.post-67247057043630474702007-08-09T22:15:00.000-07:002007-08-09T22:15:00.000-07:00bolo sab baba arivndanad ji ki jai...lolbolo sab baba arivndanad ji ki jai...<BR/>lolI am...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16400363371138979069noreply@blogger.com
